## Example

### Steps

1. Drag the `setVar` function into the flow window. ![](/files/nkaB6hqAmxbIivzdhk1m)
2. Create a variable called `version` with the value `1.0.0` ![](/files/MSmk7ao2M34yMW68nNVI)
3. This will create a global variable called "version" containing the value "1.0.0" that can be accessed by other components or on other pages of your app.

### Result

The value of the global variable `version` can be accessed by using the [`getVar`](https://github.com/OrangeKloud/emobiq-documentation/blob/master/document/client/006-actions-and-visual-logic/action-reference/cordova/App/setVar/getvar/README.md) function.

Using the above flow will display the value `1.0.0` in the browser console.
